Step option for last set: at the end of the 2nd [6] and 5th [9] repetitions, there’s a hard break in the music.

&7

Optional finish to the front wall—the last repetition starts facing [3]. Do the first 4 counts as written, ending on your R with the coaster. Then do this:

*Note to instructors: these are exactly the same steps as my dance Make It Right, which I released last week.
The only difference is that this step sheet is counted at 80 BPM using syncopated steps instead of 180 BPM using straight counts with holds.
